Pentium M Goes SFF

Posted by timothy on from the letterman-was-here dept.

Jonesy writes "The folks at The Tech Report have reviewed an interesting new small form factor box (a roughly toaster-sized desktop PC) from AOpen based on the Pentium M. As expected, performance is on par with a Pentium 4, but noise and power consumption are much lower. The reviewer says, 'Subjectively, the EY855-II was simply amazing. At one point, I sat with the system at ear level two feet away. I closed my eyes and strained to hear it, but was unable to do so.' The one fly in the ointment: relatively high prices still on Pentium M processors, although that could change soon."

    In roads into what? Definately not the Mac market, so what was your point again? Sounds like you came up with some random wibble you thought might sound intelligent to do a bit of karma whoring.

    As opposed to me that's actually said something that is intelligent in order to do a bit of karma whoring ;) (Mind you, my Karma is already excellent so what's the point).

    "Wintel folks: look to the Mac Mini for inspiration.

    Apple took the three year old G4 iMac and put it in a headless smaller case. So inspiring!

    I'll buy a three year old notebook instead, those come with a TFT display.
